The band Dragon Pony is sprinting towards its dreams, fueled by a hot musical energy.
Dragon Pony (An Tae-kyu, Pyeon Seong-hyeon, Kwon Se-hyeok, Ko Gang-hun) will release its second EP 'Not Out' today at 6 p.m. through various music platforms.
The title track 'Not Out', sharing its name with the EP, expresses the struggle of modern youth who constantly challenge themselves towards their dreams using baseball terminology. With the motto 'It’s not over yet!', the song conveys a message of hope and passion, suggesting that by steadfastly moving forward even through an anxious and daunting reality, one will ultimately achieve their dreams.
In particular, Dragon Pony reflects on the meaning of a life filled with challenges. The passionate musical energy of all four members blends seamlessly with lyrics that anyone in their youth can relate to. The well-placed instruments maximize emotional immersion, while representative Yoo Hee-yeol contributed to the lyrics, enhancing overall quality.
The music video released alongside the music depicts Dragon Pony fully immersed in their band performance. The energetic band sound that unfolds as if sprinting towards a dream offers a thrill to viewers. It fully captures the passion of the four members, who do not give up until the end amidst failure and despair.
Additionally, this EP includes five tracks that combine various genres based on traditional rock sound, including 'NEVER', which portrays the emotions of contemplating a breakup at the moment of decision with impactful singing and intense rock sounds in the latter half; 'Waste', which fills the song with various FX sounds and has fast beats suitable for enjoying the stage; 'Altruism (To. Nosy Boy)', characterized by vintage sounds with a spectacular guitar solo in the latter half; and 'On Air', which captures the nervous and overwhelming feelings right before going on stage.
'Not Out' is the new EP that Dragon Pony presents about six months after the release of its first EP 'POP UP'. The autobiographical narratives of Dragon Pony and the facets of their imperfect youth are woven into each track. Following 'POP UP', this 'Not Out' also features the four members as main producers, overseeing the lyric writing, composing, and arranging of all tracks. Dragon Pony adeptly utilizes their wide musical spectrum to once again prove their exceptional musical capability.
